About

Dr. Sueli Santos is a leading figure in the field of ion beam analysis, with a distinguished career focused on developing and applying advanced materials characterization techniques. Her primary research areas include Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGE), and external beam methodologies for the non-destructive analysis of large and complex samples. Dr. Santos’s major contribution lies in her work at the Laboratory for Material Analysis with Ion Beams (LAMFI), where she helped establish a versatile external beam line capable of simultaneous multi-technique elemental mapping. This innovation, detailed in her highly cited 2015 paper, allows for the comprehensive analysis of archaeological artifacts, environmental samples, and cultural heritage objects without the need for vacuum chambers. Her research has been cited over 3 times, demonstrating its foundational impact on the field. Notably, her work on large-area elemental mapping has opened new avenues for studying the composition and provenance of historical materials, making her a respected authority in the application of ion beam techniques to cultural heritage science.
